“Pleasant time with Carol”
We had a wonderful time exploring parts of Tokyo with Carol, She met us up promptly and we headed out to the major highlights. The time with her was on our first full day in Tokyo and it definitely helped with soft landing as well as gradually embracing the culture shock and navigating the transport system. She provided good insights as we went along and was also very helpful with tips and recommendation for the rest of our stay. The icing on the cake was the pictures Carol took of us during our time with her were some of the best and candid we had for our trip. Overall, it felt like meeting up and spending time with a friend and so will definitely recommend her service.

“Wonderful day in Tokyo”
Carol is an outstanding guide; could not ask for more. She is pleasant, personable, intelligent and exposed us to every aspect of Tokyo that we had expressed an interest in. Outstanding in every respect.

“Fantastic Guide - Kind, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to!”
Carol was our day 1 guide in Tokyo and she was excellent! She communicated frequently and was really nice! She was able to adjust our itinerary as schedules changed and make sure to get us to our pre booked plans on time. I now know why she is highly rated - she earns it! Thank you for taking pictures for us too, Carol, those are some of our favorite memories!
